Far lighter than other ions collided at the LHC, oxygen (and neon) could tell us about conditions in the early universe.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first ...

As the world shifts toward sustainable energy sources, "green hydrogen"—hydrogen produced without emitting carbon—has emerged as a leading candidate for clean power. In a significant step ...

Analysis of a random population of oxygen vacancies in several amorphous SiO/sub 2/ structures, using first-principles calculations, shows that a distribution of defect states exists due to different ...

Figures 3 and 4 show the influence of the oscillation frequency on the internal friction spectra for the relaxation process due to stress-induced ordering of the oxygen atoms around Nb (or Ta) lattice ...

Light-activated atom swapping Photocatalytic reaction replaces nitrogen with oxygen in 5-membered aromatic rings by Brianna Barbu October 4, 2024 Credit: Yoonsu Park ...

Related: Why is ice slippery? Ice cubes float because of their molecular structure. A water molecule (H2O) is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Atomic oxygen is the highly reactive chemical cousin of molecular oxygen (the stuff we breathe and simply refer to as oxygen.) Unlike molecular oxygen, or O2, made of oxygen atom pairs, atomic ...

Oxygen accounts for about 21% of Earth's air, with the rest of our atmosphere primarily nitrogen. And most living things - including people, as we well know - need oxygen to survive.
